Regional and divisional management rests in the hands of the specific sport staff of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. While this is organized nationally, each region and division may have a specific staff that deals with the varied means and methods of management of alpine skiing, freestyle and cross country within the borders of a region/division, and works to facilitate efficient operations when the regions act collectively in national projects.

Additionally, there are governance structures, under the auspices of the Sport Committees, to represent the divisions or states on various committees and working groups to develop philosophy for the sport.
